What You'll Be Doing
  • Identify and pursue new business opportunities across C&I, infrastructure, and renewable energy sectors
  • Build and manage relationships with consultants, developers, EPCs, and asset owners to position Schneider Electric as the partner of choice
  • Lead complex solution-selling engagements from early-stage concept through to proposal and closure
  • Work closely with internal technical, sales, and delivery teams to deliver customer-aligned, software-enabled energy solutions
  • Influence market direction by providing feedback to product and innovation teams based on evolving customer needs
What We're Looking For
  • Degree in Electrical Engineering, Energy Systems, or a related field (Master's preferred)
  • 8–10+ years' experience in business development, solution sales, or energy consulting
  • Proven success in the C&I, infrastructure, or renewable energy sectors
  • Good knowledge of power distribution systems, substation automation, and Electrical SCADA
  • Familiarity with digital energy platforms, IEC 61850, and modern energy-as-a-service models
  • Confident communicator with a consultative sales approach and a hunter mindset
